[1]Thiswas written in connection with a resolution sent to Lenin by
a general meeting of workers of the Moscow Garment Factory No.
36 named after the Third International (émigrés from America).

Theywrote that for a month they had been unable to start their
factory equipped with the latest machines and devices which they
had brought along from America, and asked Lenin to help them to
obtain the materials necessary to complete the equipment of the
factory and the repair of the premises, and also to obtain housing.

OnJune 27, 1921, Lenin signed letters to L. K. Martens and
V. T. Likhachov, Chairman of the Moscow Gubernia Economic
Council, ordering them to remove all red tape in this matter and
to help the émigré workers to start the factory as soon as
possible (seeLenin Miscellany XX, p. 201).
